Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking UFC 123, NXT Season 4?! Black Friday, Survivor Series and much more!

Welcome to another edition of the weekend wrap up!

Tonight is UFC 123 headlined by Rampage VS Machida and Penn VS Huges. I'm pulling for Huges and Rampage tonight.

Word is starting to get out that WWE is producing a 4th season of NXT....Are You Fucking Kidding Me?!

Hopefully this NXT will be all guys and we get to see Tyler Black on the show.

Black Friday is next Friday but i guess WWE thought they should get a jump start and released 8 people..The only surprise to me was Luke Gallows. But you had to think once WWE split up the Straight Edge Society there wouldn't be much for him...Wonder what will happen with Joey Matthews?

The Old School Raw was a lot of fun Monday night. WWE did a very nice job. I'd LOVE to see them do this as a regular once a year show or even a PPV.

It was fun seeing all the old legends again and Mae Young is ballin! Calling the bella's Sluts and Bitches! She clearly didn't get the PG memo.

I wish they would of gotten HBK and Kevin Nash for the show and they could of even gotten Bret Hart on.

Survivor Series is tomorrow, this is easily one of my favorite Pay Per Views. Actaully i LOVE all the big 4 Pay Per Views they do.

I'm glad Kaval and Daniel Bryan got matches on the card they are easily my two favorite new comers to WWE right now. Would be nice to see Kaval win. I would guess Daniel Bryan to open the show.

Kind of pissed WWE is breaking up The Heart Dynasty, I mean you don't have any tag teams!! why break up the only legit tag team you have?!Is Vince Russo writing this crap?!

Speaking of iMpact this weeks wasn't as bad as last weeks. Still not great and still the same fans tune in week after week...Ratings are showing that.

The Jeff Jarrett MMA thing was the dumbest thing I've EVER seen...PLEASE TNA STOP with the MMA crap and leave that to UFC.

Apparently Tara is a cougar now....Awesome? Does this mean Ziggy and I have a shot? haha

Raven is gone from TNA...I'm sure we'll see him again. Kind of nice to see EV2 going away, you can't keep em around forever.

A&E's Biography of Hulk Hogan was done by Bischoff and Jason Harvey, VERY well done really reminded me of why i still love the hulkster. If you haven't seen it yet you need to watch it.

Our good friend Kevin Sullivan did an interview with wwe.com about the upcoming WWE Championship book which you can get by clicking here, The link to the interview is here. Congrats to Kevin Sullivan on this upcoming book! I'm sure it will be another New York Times Best Seller!

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking Total Nonstop Bischoff, Taped Raw, Old School Raw, Remembering Eddie,plus much more.

What's up everyone it's time for another edition of the weekend wrap up.

Watching impact this week REALLY felt like WCW, I mean you had the nice big long 15 minuet opening segment featuring Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan...NWO much?

The new TNA title is the worst thing I've EVER seen....I don't buy Jeff Hardy heel turn, mainly cause he's not the best on the mic, never has been never will be.

I'm sick of seeing Eric Bischoff on TNA so much, get rid of him and Hulk and use guys like A.J and Motor City, and Beer Money to lead your company.

Early this week i dd a "Dear Dixie When will enough be enough" Blog, and I stand by that blog even more so now with what i saw on impact this week.

Matt Morgan VS Jeff Hardy again? GREAT...Will Bischoff's son be the ref again and reveal himself as Eric's son?

WWE is doing an "Old School" Raw on Monday, some of the things i want to see are.

Vince and Jessie the body on Commentary.

Or Vince and Macho Man.

The old R A W set.

Sean Mooney.

Mike Adamle (Yes I'm joking about that part)

These are just some of the things I'm hoping to see.

Raw this past week was in the UK and was taped delayed in the US....Does anyone else hate Taped Raws as much as I do?

For some reason I've never been a fan of taped shows.

Survivor Series is a week away, this is one of my favorite PPV's every year. Hopefully they add Daniel Bryan to the card this week.

Sad we won't see an actual Survivor Series elimination match though.

I'm hopin Barret wins the title at Survivor Seires, I'd like to see him get a nice title run, but my guess is it'll be a short run.

Kane V.S. Big Show on SD last night.....YAWN!

TNA Re-signed Eric Young, I guess were still getting the comedy tag team.....

5 years ago today we lost one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step foot in a wrestling ring, I was never a huge Eddie fan, but he always made me laugh at some of the stuff he did in the ring and the way he'd win matches. I may not have been a huge fan but I damn sure respected what he brought to the table, I wish when I was growing up there were more smaller guys like him and Rey getting pushes, maybe i would have tried to become a wrestler. One of the coolest Eddie moments was him and Chris Benoit at Wrestlemania 20 rejoicing with each other after Chris won his World Title. With that said RIP Eddie You will always be missed but NEVER forgotten.

Speaking of WWE chmpionships our friend Kevin Sullivan's new book is coming out just around the corner now on Nov 23rd! He recently posted on his blog an outtake of his interview with The Big Show, you can check it out by following him on twitter @SullivanBooks, also pre-order the book here.

Coming up Monday on Shotgun Radio, Ziggy and I preview Survivor Series as well as the Old School Raw. Were also talking about Turning Point and our thoughts on Total Nonstop Bischoff er TNA. Be sure to join us on Blog Talk Radio Monday at 2pm central time!

Dear Dixie Carter, When will enough be enough?


After watching last night's TNA Turning Point Pay Per View, I didn't get the feeling that they tried to make it anything special. It still felt like way to much Eric Bischoff and I'm sure if Hulk Hogan was there or was he? There would of been a lot of Hogan as well.

Bischoff was wearing his Karate Gi, didn't we see this in WCW? Remember when he tried to challenge Vince to a match?

The only moment they tried to make feel special was when Motor City kicked out of the 3D, otherwise it almost felt like i was just watching another episode of impact. When your own crowd doesn't get into the show you know something is wrong. The crowd was dead for the most part the whole night, that's not a good sign.

Since Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff came to TNA the ratings haven't really changed a whole hell of a lot. If they were on Monday nights still i would say they would probably be barley pulling a .5 judging by the way things went on their trial run on Monday nights.

I think Dixie Carter made the biggest mistake ever by passing on Paul Hayman I don't know if she didn't buy his plan but from what he said it sounded like a legit plan that would indeed work. She needs a mind like Paul Hayman, not like Vince Russo.

I'll be the first to say Dixie please just let Hulk, Eric, and Vince go now. I like Hogan just as much as the next guy, but why is he even there? He can't wrestle anymore, him and Eric are trying to re-create the NWO where half the roster is with them. They try and praise their "Youth Movement" Well that's a load of shit. WWE is kicking your ass as far as Youth Movement goes.

Every week I see way to much Eric Bischoff, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. I want to see more of AJ Styles, Beer Money, The Young Bucks, the list goes on and on. They really do have a GREAT young roster.....why the hell aren't you using it like you should?! I would rather watch the house show i went to 1000 times then the crap the put on last night.

When is Dixie Carter going to realize "hey this just isn't working" Knowing her probably never, shes so wrap up in it she doesn't see the big picture. Better question when will Spike TV come along and say "Hey we need to do better then these 1.1's." Dixie talks about change all the time, yet it's still the same old product. I ask you Dixie When Will Enough be enough?

TNA Turning Point Picks


Believe it or not, there's another PPV upon us so here are our picks.
Chewy's Picks

TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Jeff Hardy V.S. Matt Morgan

I don't see a clean finish at all, I truly hope these two put on a good match, I don't have a lot of faith in it, But i'm taking Hardy with some outside help.

TNA World Tag Team Championship
The Motor City Machine Guns V.S. Team 3-D

Again i see a dirty finish with Bubba turning on Devon costing them the match. Winner: Motor City.

TNA X-Division Championship
Jay Lethal V.S. Robbie E

I could see Robbie E walking away with the belt, just for TNA to try and continue to get him over. I don't want Robbie E to win mainly cause he's annoying as shit and not over at all. I'm going with my gut here and take Jay Lethal to retain.

Winning Team Gets to Fire a Loosing Team Member
Fortune V.S. EV2 - Simple I'm taking Fortune with either Sabu or Rhino getting fired.

Jeff Jarrett V.S. Soma Joe - Taking Joe here

Tommy Dreamer V.S. RVD - Weird match but whatever, I'm taking RVD.

Lumberjack Match
Abyss V.S. "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero - Taking Abyss here

Mickie James V.S. Tara - Should be a good match, I'm taking Tara here with help from Madision.

Chewy's Weekend Wrap Up: Talking Stand up for WWE, Monday Night Raw,TNA Turning Point and more!

Didn't really have much to talk about last week, but i'm back this week with another edition of the Weekend Wrap Up!

Linda McMahon lost her senate race this past Tuesday night, Sadly WWE will NOT be getting rid of PG.

Monday Night Raw featured the one and only Pee Wee Herman....That dude creeps me the F out now.... I was rather surprised to see the rating go up this week.

Congrats to the San Fransisco Giants on their World Series win.

Anyone hoping for Brock VS Taker for Mania might as well give up hope now. Lesnar is still under a UFC contract.

I'm hoping Brock's next fight is against "Big Country" Roy Nelson.

WWE is still doing their Stand up for WWE campaign, I wish i could sit down now....

TNA Finally banned unprotected chair shots to the head, smart move, but they still don't do drug testing?

Turing Point will be headlined by Jeff Hardy V.S. Matt Morgan for the TNA World Title....That'll sell the PPV....

TNA has been consistent in the 1.1 rating....When will Spike TV come out and say we need to do better?

Shame that CM Punk will be missing time with a hip injury, it appeared they were setting up a Daniel Bryan/Punk Feud....Hopefully we get that match for mania, they should tear the house down.

Speaking of Daniel Bryan that dude puts on AMAZING matches, his past two ppv matches the crowd has chanted "This is Awesome" You don't get that at WWE shows anymore.

I'm getting the felling Miz could potentially cash in his money in the bank at the Survivor Series ppv, if that doesn't happen i see him cashing it in at Royal Rumble.

The more their playing it the more I feel Miz will be the first to cash in and NOT win.

I wish WWE would stop trying to push Smackdown! as the No 1 show, because it still is clearly not the No 1 show.

If you haven't yet please start following our good friend @SullivanBooks on twitter, we had him on the show two weeks ago talking about his upcoming WWE Championship book pre order the book by clicking on WWE Championship.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for our TNA Turning Point picks!
